• New Hampshire has always been cheap, mean, rural, small-minded, and reactionary. It's one of the few states in the nation with neither a sales tax nor an income tax. Social services are totally inadequate there, it ranks at the bottom in state aid to education--the state is literally shaped like a dunce cap--and its medical assistance program is virtually nonexistent. Expecting aid for the poor there is like looking for an egg under a basilisk.... The state encourages skinflints, cheapskates, shutwallets, and pinched little joykillers who move there as a tax refuge to save money.

• A visit to New Hampshire supplies the most resources to a traveler, and confers the most benefit on the mind and taste, when it lifts him above mere appetite for wildness, ruggedness, and the feeling of mass and precipitous elevation, into a perception and love of the refined grandeur, the chaste sublimity, the airy majesty overlaid with tender and polished bloom, in which the landscape splendor of a noble mountain lies.

• Los hombres cuelgan sus letreros indicativos de sus respectivos oficios; los zapateros cuelgan un zapato gigantesco; los joyeros un reloj monstruoso, y el dentista cuelga un diente de oro; pero arriba, en las Montañas de New Hampshire, Dios Todopoderoso ha colgado un letrero para mostrar que allí Él hace a los hombres.

• Como los habitantes de New Hampshire se toman en serio sus responsabilidades como ciudadanos de la República, mantienen el interés de los candidatos que, lo crean o no, pueden llegar a cansarse un poco de las cualidades amaneradas, predecibles y poco imaginativas que suelen aquejar a las campañas políticas modernas.

• In the past, in order to continue as a candidate, a serious candidate, you had to be in the top three finishes in Iowa. You had to be in the top two out of New Hampshire. All our presidents elected in the past half-century finished either first or second in New Hampshire and in the top three in Iowa. That changed with the Citizens United, when we gave unlimited amounts of money.

• Si me limitara a leer libros informativos o a participar en las idas y venidas políticas, ¿habría oído hablar del gran problema que supone la salud mental en New Hampshire? ¿Habría oído a la gente decir que están realmente preocupados por el impacto en los jóvenes porque New Hampshire tiene los problemas de matrícula y deuda más altos del país? No estoy seguro de que lo hubiera hecho.

• Un muchacho robusto de New Hampshire o Vermont que a su vez prueba todas las profesiones, que trabaja en el campo, en la granja, vende ambulantemente, tiene una escuela, predica, edita un periódico, va al Congreso, compra un municipio, etcétera, en años sucesivos, y siempre cae como un gato de pie, vale por cien de estos muñecos de ciudad. Camina al compás de sus días y no siente vergüenza por no "estudiar una profesión", pues no pospone su vida, sino que vive ya.

• Both Mitt and I have summer places up in New Hampshire on Lake Winnipesaukee. And a few summers ago I was taking my grandchildren and children to town in the boat for ice cream ... And I realized there was nobody in the boat to help me dock the boat, handle the ropes, do anything ... And I looked up and there was Mitt Romney. So he pulled me in, he tied up the boat for me. He rescued me just as he's going to rescue this great country.

• In 1988, as an unknown candidate, totally unknown, I won Iowa, came in second in New Hampshire, won South Dakota. I was ahead in every Super Tuesday state the day after South Dakota. The only problem was I didn't have enough money. I had a million dollars left, and Al Gore had three and Michael Dukakis had three and it was lights out.

• What Mr. Kaufman and his team are after is less a portrait of any one person than one of the ethos of a place. In the deliberate, simple staging ... in which eight radiantly clean-scrubbed performers embody 60 different people against a bare-bones set, 'Laramie' often brings to mind 'Our Town,' the beloved Thornton Wilder study of life, love and death in parochial New Hampshire.

• Tastykakes are just another of the many advantages of living in Jersey. They’re made in Philly and shipped to Trenton in all their fresh squishiness. I read once that 439,000 Butterscotch Krimpets are baked every day. And not a heck of a lot of them find their way to New Hampshire. All that snow and scenery and what good does it do you without Tastykakes?

• He had an uncommon fondness for cats. As an old man summering in New Hampshire, Twain even rented kittens from a nearby farm to keep him company until he returned home. "If man could be crossed with the cat," said Twain, "it would improve the man, but it would deteriorate the cat." There's always something about your success that displeases even your best friends.
